In this video i go winter solo camping in the snow with the brand new wild country panacea 2 tent. The wind picked up in the evening so a great test for the strength for this cleverly designed tent. It's a regular pole tent but it has the great feature making it a hybrid trekking pole tent when extra strength needed for storm camping.

I bought this tent because of your review! It was the trekking poles that sold me, I had the Helm 2 previously and this is certainly an upgrade. Im off to Scotland wild camping soon (its Nov 2023) and am fully confident in this amazing tent. Keep going going brother!

Not sure why guys put the boots outside the inner pod. Walking boots get brushed off and go in a bag, then go in the sleeping bag with you to keep them thawed and warm. Arctic camping tip. Looks an awesome camp, always worth the view.

I watched this as I'm thinking of buying this tent or the Northern Lite. I then lost interest in the tent; not because I don't want one but because the scenery and inversion grabbed ALL of my attention. That was incredibly beautiful.

I have the terra nova version , (northern lite 2). *TOP TIP* When I use the trekking poles I put them in parallel with the door canvas so they don't get in the way of the internal door. Hope this helps.

@arichardson8233 10 ай бұрын

Have just bought one of these. You may have already realised but you had the short pole connected wrong. It should cross on top of the long pole so that the joint isn’t stressed. I agree it’s more a palace for one rather than a two man tent. I’m getting older so need a bit more room for comfort even though it’s a bit more weight to carry.

Will also be watching ur comparison vid with NL3 again, but just have to say that sunrise with snow and inversion is very special, a wonderful memory for you, an inspiration to others to seek similar. Thanks for sharing this with us paul. God bless 🙏

Paul, have been wrestling with whether to buy CP2 or Helm 2 for a while, had settled on CP2 - but this seems to offer far more piece of mind that either! Is it as much better as it seems?

Hiya Paul Great video and content as usual. I have got a Vango torridon 3 tent. The pole configuration has 2 poles which hold the door /vestibule rigid . Im going to try to adapt your walking pole method on both vestibules poles for increased stability like Iv used before on the 3x3 tarp set up with the door which isreally stable in high winds Thanks again

Hi Paul, great video, I was going to get the Helm 2 in the next few days but I can see that the Panacea is only £10 more, I seems obvious I should get the Panacea, what do you think, any advice would be great

@PaulMessner 5 ай бұрын

The panacea is stronger but it’s quite heavy and bulky. It’s a bit roomier though. It’s a shame I didnt get this message last week. I’d have sold my Northern Lite which is better still. Thats now up for raffle on my website 👍🏻

@stevenvitali7404 5 ай бұрын

@@PaulMessner thanks for the help Paul, finally upgrading from my vango soul 200 lol, probably get the Helm 2 as it’s lighter and smaller pack size, plus I would need to get the trekking poles for the panacea, the Helm is a big upgrade from the vango soul 200

Hi paul out of the 3 tents which would you choose. The panacea the helm 2 or the pioneer 2? I honestly dont no which to go for. I have a helm q but its just to small for me. Thanks

@wallsend_wildcamper Жыл бұрын

@kddevitt depends if you want to carry the extra weight or not. Panacea is probably a better tent but tge helm is still a good tent. I have the helm 1 atm

@steviesteve750 Жыл бұрын

@@kddevitt panacea every time. For a slight weight increase it's much sturdier with trekking poles as supports. If you don't use poles, then go with the Helm 2. I've got the northern lite 2, it's a better design and space than the Helm, the panacea is identical.

@kddevitt Жыл бұрын

@@wallsend_wildcamper I have a banshee 200, ok tent, def not for 2 and does feel cramped at times. The Helm 2 would be a big step up, smaller pack, more space. The Panacea looks like the next level up with the compromise of more weight and bigger pack size .... edging towards this one0
